Beaten 7l when sixth of seven at Turffontein last month in a handicap; this is his grade; third, albeit some way off the winner, two starts back and is respected.

Has a good C&D record (three wins from ten runs) and admirably consistent; solid effort in defeat to finish runner-up after going off 17-2 here over 1m2f (handicap) 14 days ago; plenty of appeal.

J: G Lerena

Beaten a fair way when sixth over 1m1f at Turffontein (handicap) four weeks ago; grade looks suitable; a likely player as would have leading chance if back in the same form she showed when winning two starts ago.

Golden Warrior
J: M K Katjedi
T: A Ndzilana
Could not manage better than seventh last week when behind two of these upped to this trip in a handicap; a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win last June) and been out of sorts of late; makes limited appeal with a few rivals in good form.

No impression when fifth of ten over 1m1f at Turffontein (stakes race) behind Utsaah, at the weekend; not at her best last time although had previously shown useful form and grade looks suitable; need to draw a line through her last run, but was second two starts back; should be thereabouts.

Out of the frame when sixth over 1m1f at Turffontein (maiden plate) 12 days ago; has taken a step forward the last twice but yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 12; is passed over as running in what looks to be a hot race.
